CLERICAL IMMORTALITY.

The New York Sun says everybody
must have been struck by the frequency
OF cases OF clerical immortality within re-
cent years. They have occurred in sew
eral parts of the Union, and among the
ministers OF nearly every denomination,
the number reported in New York news
papers comprising only portion OF the
whole, as any one who keeps the run OF
American journals can testify.
There seems to be no doubt that there
has been decided increase in such mis-
conduct, and it has taken place during
the last ten years. We observe, too, that
there is remarkable similarity between
the cases, more especially so far as con-
Germs the behavior OF the clergymen
under the disgraceful charges made
against them.
The accusation, almost invariably, is
of undue familiarity with the wife OF a
parishioner, or OF attempts at her corrup-
ton. This is a terrible charge to bring
against a minister of the gospel, whose
usefulness and fitness for his holy func-
tions depend upon his reputation for pur-
ity OF character and fidelity in his own
life to the standard OF conduct he holds
up for others. Yet we do not remember
u single one of the most scandalous cases
where the accused clergyman has in
sisted upon satisfactory vindication.
He has either allowed the public to re-
main in doubt as to his guilt, or has
undertaken to brow-beat his accusers,
and meantime and afterward has gone on
in the exercise of his sacred profession as
If the charge were of minor consequence.
What does all that mean? 1t means
that Henry Ward Beecher set prohigate
and licentious ministers an example
which they have been quick to follow.
They saw that he was able to brazen it
out when proof OF gross immortality was
brought against him, and to keep on as a
preacher of the gospel, and they were
emboldened to indulge in like practices,
expecting to have equal success in stand
ing out against the truth. They learned
from him the tactics they have used, and
the effrontery under such accusations dis
played by them is copied from the Brook
lyn pastor. A charge OF immortality
they have found, can be so treated as SO
become of positive advantage to thick.
skinned and INSCRIPTIONS minister, by
giving him welcome notorietv; and Mr..
Beecher's success has, of course, en-
couraged the entrance OF such characters
into the sacred profession.
The consequences OF that unpunished
crime against religion are not yet all APP

THE TUCKER BILL.

The news from Washington published
in last evenings DEMOCRAT will gladden.
the heart of every friend OF free govern
ment in Utah. Tomorrow has been
designated as the day for the consdera-
ton of the Tucker bill in the House.
There is not the shadow OF doubt OF its
passage in that body, and as there are
upwards OF forty more working days for
Congress before its adjournment, there is
plenty of time for action on it in the SEN
ate. Nothing now, except some unfore-
seen and most improbable circumstance,
can possibly defeat the bill in either
House, and its approval by the President
is beyond the possibility OF question.
The Tucker bill will become a law Of the
land. With its passage commences the
redemption OF Utah from priestly and
reasonable rule and its movement into
line with the other States and Territorie s
OF the Union. The DEMOCRAT takes time
by the forelock and congratulates the
people OF Utah upon their deliverance
from theocratic bondage. 1t also con-
graduates the sincere bnt misguided VIC
tins OF Mormon priestcrait upon the
dawn OF an era of prosperity in the Terri
tory, the benefits OF which they will share
equally with those who have 50 long
labored to bring about the change.

PROSPEROUS BUTTE.

The Butte Inter-Mountain fairly laughs
with glee in anticipation OF the big pro-
duct of that camp for 1887. 1t says:
Butte is swimming in a high tide of
prosperity. Its mines never looked so
we'll nor were in such shape to insure
heavy and constant production. The
Gagnon will double its output within the
next thirty days. The Anaconda will
continue to increase its ore shipments
till thev reach 1000 tons per day. They
are now 1000 tons. The Parrot shaft
from the 43O-foot station is making rapid
downward progress. In the eastern mar
kets the Parrot product sells within
fraction OF Lake prices. The Bluebird is
now producing $4,000 per day in fine bull
lion, at which rate it will take many years
TO exhaust the ore resources even above
the 300-foot level. Tue Lexington on the
l,000-foot level is full OF great possibil-
ties. The Alice at the same depth has
some good ore, though the amount OF it
is unknown, The Morning Star has re-
sumed operations. The Magma Charta
is looking well and producing heavily
from the north vein. Walker Bros. re-
Gently made large offer for an interest
in the Saukie, which shows the ground in

instead OF enjoying their "three-fngers"
